Price list updated on July 30, 2026, cart verified the same day

GoDaddy, website prices: first year and subsequent years.

The price you see is €2.19 per month. The price you will pay from the second year is €10.99 per month, which is five times as much., and the security certificate goes from free to €99.99 per year. This is not a discovery and it is not hidden: it is written in their cart and inside the question marks next to the items. The problem is that almost no one opens them, so we opened them and are reporting here what was inside, word for word. On the cost of infrastructure GoDaddy costs less than us and this page says so: what in their Italian price list does not exist is the phrase "we build the website ourselves".

The complete price list GoDaddy is a good option when:* You're looking for a very user-friendly platform for beginners. * You need a wide range of services under one roof (domains, hosting, website builder, email, etc.). * You want to register domain names quickly and easily. * You're on a budget and looking for competitive introductory pricing. * You need quick access to customer support, especially by phone. * You're building a simple website and don't need advanced features or deep customization.
Website hosting, the four plans

The price list, first year and full price.

All amounts are net of VAT, as this is how GoDaddy presents them. Each plan is shown with the "For the 1st year" formula: the crossed-out price next to it is not a fancy discount; it's the rate the service returns to after twelve months. The column that matters is the third one.

Net imports, recorded on July 30, 2026, on the Italian pages of GoDaddy. The "how much it goes up" column is a division between the two previous columns, not a figure derived from them. In the pricing page markup, there is also this sentence, which applies to the entire price list: "The special launch price is only valid for the initial purchase period. The product renewal price may change."

Website Builder, if you want to build the site yourself

PianoAnnual paymentMonthly paymentAt renewal, from the cart
Basic€7.49/month, or €89.88 per year€11.99/month, or €143.88/year€155.88 per year, which is €12.99 per month
Commerce€14.99/month, which is €179.88 per year24.99 €/month, which is 299.88 € per yearNot detected: we only put the Basic in the cart

The renewal column is something we found in the checkout, and it’s the reason why it’s worth going through with the purchase. On the plans page, the renewal price for the Website Builder doesn’t appear: there’s only €7.49/month labeled "SAVE 53% WITH THE ANNUAL PLAN." When we added the Basic plan to the cart on July 30, 2026, the line item read ""€89.88, €155.88, 42% discount"" and under "Renews on July 2027 for €155.88". Three figures for the same offer, three different percentages: 53% on the page, 42% at the register, and 37.5% if you compare the €7.49 annual rate with the €11.99 monthly rate.

Check made at the register on July 30, 2026

The longer the commitment, the higher the rent.

We put Web Hosting Economy in the cart and only changed the duration, without touching anything else. GoDaddy's cart allows you to choose between 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 60, and 120 months, and the price per month changes. Not in the way you'd expect.

Chosen durationToday you payThat is per monthThen it renews toExact text in cart
12 months26,28 €2,19 €131,88 €"Renewed on July 2027 for €131.88"

36 months208,44 €5,79 €395,64 €"Renews on July 2029 for €395.64"

Read the third column from top to bottom: 2,19 €, 4,99 €, 5,79 €. Committing for three years instead of one, on the exact same terms, costs 164 percent more per month. It's the opposite of what happens almost everywhere, where a long commitment is the way to pay less, and it's why it's worth opening the cart before choosing a duration out of habit.

However, there is also one thing that GoDaddy does better than many others, and it must be said right away because it is true: The renewal line is written under each product, with the date and the amount. Not in a note, not in an attached document: under the product name, at checkout. In our survey, more than one supplier, when asked the cost of the second year, referred to another page or didn't say at all.

The three items declared free, opened one by one

What's inside question marks.

Next to "free domain," "free email," and "free SSL certificate" there are small symbols: an asterisk, a number, a question mark. Below is the piece of information that changes the count. Below is the text that appeared when they were opened on July 30, 2026, reproduced verbatim.

01
99,99 €the year, from the second year

The SSL certificate, on the Economy plan

The question mark next to "Free SSL Certificate, 1 Year" says verbatim: "At a cost of €99.99 per year, the GoDaddy SSL certificate protects transactions on your website using advanced 2048-bit encryption. With your purchase, you receive a free SSL certificate for one year. After the first free year, the SSL certificate will automatically renew at the prevailing price until you cancel." The same thing is repeated in the cart: "The free trial period expires 1 year after purchase. It automatically renews at the price of €99.99/year."

02
not equalon all floors

And here is the clarification that harms us

That €99.99 applies to the Economy plan, not the entire price list, and it would be incorrect to state otherwise. For the WordPress Basic plan, the price is "Free SSL Certificate without renewal fees" and the question mark confirms: "even for free for the entire duration of the hosting plan". On Deluxe and Ultimate, the text talks about cPanel AutoSSL, "assigned and automatically renewed", without figures. So: economically, SSL is a paid renewal, on the others it is not.

03
tryin 12 months, not one included

Mailboxes

In the cart, the item is called "Microsoft 365 Email Essentials, free trial", with two checkboxes, "free for 12 months." The question mark on the plans page says: "Activating your email address includes automatic renewal at the current price until you cancel." The current price isn't listed there or at the checkout: according to the price list, Email Essentials are €1.89 per mailbox per month "for the first year", and The renewal price is not published. In the cart, there's also a useful line: "Mailboxes can only be renewed by the user."

04
13,11 €the year, the .it at renewal

The domain

With GoDaddy, it's clear and should be acknowledged: the price is written on the .it page. "13.11 € 8.19 € /1st year", that is, promotion and full price side by side. The .com, on the other hand, comes in at €0.01 but with the condition "3-year purchase required" renewal at €21.99 per year. A cash note: searching for a .it from the cart, the response was "It is available, but requires more information for registration.", so the .it isn't added with one click like a .com.

Why do we insist so much on these small symbols: we made the mistake first, and on a page on this website. On another provider, we had written that the renewal price was not stated, and that was not true: it was inside a question mark that we hadn't opened. We corrected it, and since then the rule has been fixed: before writing a figure, we go to the checkout and open everything we can open. It applies against them and it applies against us.

Twenty-four months, addend by addend

How much does it really cost a website on GoDaddy.

Scenario: Local business, showcase website, own .it domain, one email address on the domain. The chosen plan is the most economical that covers all three. Each line has its source, so you can redo the calculation yourself.

If the SSL renewal is triggeredplus €99.99 in the second year293,94 €€358.61, including 22% VAT

Two honest warnings about this bill. The second year's mailbox line uses the first year's price, Why is the email renewal not published?That line is therefore a lower-end approximation, and we are writing it down instead of hiding it. The SSL line depends on what happens to the trial certificate: if you let it renew it's €99.99 per year, if you disable it and use cPanel's AutoSSL it's zero. The cart, on July 30, 2026, also offered a "Standard Web Security" package for €5.99 per month versus €10.99 and a "Managed SSL" service for €72.00 one-time: these are optional additions and we have not included them in the bill.

The honest comparison

194 € and 780 € do not buy the same thing.

On the price of infrastructure, we lose, and by a lot. If the two columns bought the same thing, the choice would already be made and it wouldn't be ours. Read the table from left to right: the first column is where GoDaddy wins, the others tell a different story.

Our €780 over twenty-four months is net and includes the launch promo, which waives the €90 setup fee on the annual plan. At full list price, two years would cost €870. Alternatively, €39 per month plus a €90 activation fee. GoDaddy also displays net prices, so the two columns are on the same basis and comparable.

There's a detail worth mentioning, because it's verifiable in thirty seconds and says a lot about what GoDaddy really sells in Italy. The "we'll build the website" service isn't on the Italian website. The page that should host it, /en-us/websites/web-design, responds 404 to July 30, 2026, and is still linked from the website index. There are no other pages of that type in the Italian sitemap. There's "GoDaddy Consultant," which is phone and chat support, and "GoDaddy Pro," which is a program for agencies and developers: neither builds the site for you.

This isn't a criticism: GoDaddy sells hosting, domains, and tools, and it's one of the world's largest providers of these services. It’s a difference in category, and it helps you understand which of the two options you need. If you buy Economy, you write and build the site yourself—today and every time something changes. The AI-powered website builder makes the initial setup faster, not the subsequent updates.

So the right question isn't "which costs less," because you already know the answer. It's: What time is it and you want to spend it like this? If so, the page ends here and ends well. The complete map of the three market segments is in the Page about the cost of a website, and you find the same calculation made by other suppliers on the pages at Aruba prices and on Hostinger.

Said by a competitor, so weigh it carefully

When GoDaddy is the right choice.

This isn't a courtesy section you tack on at the end to seem balanced. These are five real reasons, and for some of you reading this page, they're decisive. If you see yourself here, buy GoDaddy: telling you this costs us less than selling you something you don't need.

01
The greatestregister to the world

If you have many domains to manage

Registrations, transfers, renewals, and auctions are all in a single panel, and anyone who works with domains already knows where to start. For those managing ten, or for those who want a provider that will almost certainly still be around in ten years, size is not a marketing argument: it's a real operational convenience and a guarantee of continuity.

02
13,11 €the renewal, written

If you want an honest and readable domain price

On the .it page, the full price is listed next to the promotional price: €13.11 upon renewal, €8.19 the first year. It's a good price for a .it, and it's published upfront, renewal included. In our survey, more than one provider, when asked "how much does it cost to renew the domain," only replied "at the normal price," without numbers.

03
In the cash registerrenewal date and amount

If you want to know first what you will pay later

Below each product in the cart is the line "Renews on July 2028 at €263.76", with the date and amount. GoDaddy is clearer about this than several competitors, including some that only put the renewal in a tooltip or on another page. You can calculate the second year before entering your card details, which is not at all a given in this market.

04
30 daysMoney-back guarantee

If you want to be able to go back

The thirty-day money-back guarantee is indicated on all website hosting plans. For email, it's seven days and only applies to annual purchases. It's a difference to keep in mind, but the window is generous for the main product. There is also a 99.9 percent uptime goal with credit in case of failure to meet it.

05
800-934119Toll-free number, plus 24/7 chat

If you want to be able to call someone

The phone number exists, it's a toll-free number, and it's published on the Italian contact page, along with chat, email, and SMS. This clarification is important because it's written there and changes things for some people: next to the number, the Italian page includes the wording "24/7", and the hours for phone support in Italian are not indicated. The website, cart, and documentation are in Italian, however.

A straightforward summary: if you have the time for it, and you're okay with keeping an eye on the renewal date, GoDaddy is a solid choice, and this page has helped you choose them. It's a good fit. We prefer a reader who buys well elsewhere to a customer who, after three months, realizes they bought something they didn't need.

The other side, which doesn't concern GoDaddy but you

When one hundred ninety-four euros become expensive.

There is only one case in which that low figure becomes the worst expense, and it doesn't depend on the product: it depends on how much time you actually have. The worst-case scenario isn't overspending; it's paying a subscription for a website that never went live. The plan bought in March, the afternoon when colors are chosen, and then the real work that restarts. In September, the domain is yours, the subscription is active, and the page is still the trial one. In July of the following year, the renewal at full price arrives.

It's not laziness, and it's not inability. An aesthetician closing at 8 PM, a plumber returning at 7 PM with quotes to prepare, a nutritionist with an office to manage: those evenings aren't available, and a website builder, even with AI guidance, still requires attention and decisions. The real cost in that case isn't €193.95: it's €193.95 plus the clients who, during those months, looked for a business like yours and found another.

If you recognize yourself in this second description, the question changes: not "how much does the site cost," but How much does it cost not to have it?. It's the only ground on which our price makes sense, and we won't try to move the comparison elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions they ask us about GoDaddy.

How much does a website with GoDaddy really cost?

With Web Hosting Economy, price list checked on July 30, 2026 and confirmed at checkout the same day: 2.19 € per month for the first year, which is 26.28 €, and 10.99 € per month upon renewal, which is 131.88 €, all net. Adding the renewal of the .it domain for €13.11 and an email account, the twenty-four months make 193.95 € net, which becomes €293.94 if you let the SSL certificate renew at €99.99 per year. With 22 percent VAT: €236.62 and €358.61. GoDaddy shows all prices excluding VAT.

Is it true that SSL costs €99.99 per year?

On the Economy plan, yes, if you let it renew. The text is theirs, from the question mark next to the item and repeated in the cart: "The free trial period expires 1 year after purchase. It renews automatically at a price of €99.99/year." It must be said, however, that there is another side to the story: in the WordPress Basic framework, the certificate is declared "free with no renewal fees", and on Deluxe and Ultimate there's cPanel's AutoSSL, free and automatically renewed. So it's not true that GoDaddy charges for SSL everywhere: it's true on the entry-level plan, and it can be disabled from the account.

Is it worth paying three years in advance?

On the same Economy plan, no, and it's counterintuitive. Checked at checkout on July 30, 2026, by just changing the duration: twelve months cost €26.28, which is €2.19 per month; twenty-four months cost €119.76, which is €4.99 per month; thirty-six months cost €208.44, which is €5.79 per month. The longer the commitment, the higher the monthly fee. The advantage of a long commitment is that you lock in the price for longer before renewing at €10.99 per month, not that you pay less per month.

Will GoDaddy build the website for me?

On the Italian site, no. It gives you the Website Builder and the Airo generator, which are tools with which you create it yourself. The site creation service page, /en-us/websites/web-design,responds with a 404 on July 30, 2026, even though it's still linked from the index, and there are no others in the Italian sitemap. "GoDaddy Consultant" is support, "GoDaddy Pro" is a program for agencies: neither writes your copy or uploads your photos.

How much does the domain cost, and how much does the email cost?

The .it domain costs €8.19 for the first year and €13.11 at renewal, with the two digits written next to each other. The .com domain costs €0.01 but requires a three-year purchase, and then €21.99 per year. With hosting plans, the domain is included for the first year. For email, the answer is less clear-cut: in the cart, the item is "Microsoft 365 Email Essentials, free trial," two free mailboxes for twelve months, and at list price, Email Essentials costs €1.89 per mailbox per month "for the first year.". The renewal price for mail is not published, neither on the website nor at checkout, so we don't factor it in: in our accounting, we used the first-year price and stated that.

Is GoDaddy or a subscription service like yours more convenient?

On price, GoDaddy, no question: €193.95 versus €780 over two years, both net. There's no calculation that overturns that ratio, and anyone who tries to convince you otherwise is selling you something. The difference is what you buy. With GoDaddy, you buy the space, the domain, and the tools, and you build the site yourself. With us, the site is already built when you first see it, we write the texts starting from your public content, and the data that changes, like hours and reviews, updates itself every month. If you have the hours to do it, GoDaddy. If you don't, what you're paying extra for is not having to find them. How ours works, we explain in the Local Business Service Page.

Are you biased in this comparison?

Yes, we sell a service that partially competes with theirs. That's why the page is written this way: we state that on infrastructure they cost less than us, we acknowledge that they book renewals better than many competitors, we specify that the €99.99 for SSL isn't valid on all plans, and the comparison is over twenty-four months, not the first year, which is how these figures are manipulated. Every figure comes from their pages or their shopping cart, with the date: you can reopen them and check. Where data isn't published, we state that instead of estimating it to our advantage.

Method

How we collected these prices.

  • Two readings, the same day. The list prices are from GoDaddy's Italian pages as of July 30, 2026: website hosting, economy hosting, Website Builder, professional email, .it domain, .com domain, contacts. The figures marked "cart" are from a checkout verification on July 30, 2026, by adding Web Hosting Economy to the cart and changing the duration. No blogs, no comparison sites, no affiliate sites.
  • We have opened all the question marks. beside the items stated as free or included, and that's where the two figures that matter were: the €99.99 for the SSL and the fact that the mailboxes are a trial that renews "at the current price". The text shown on the page is what came out, without summaries.
  • The cart can be accessed without opening an accountYou can see products, duration, total, and the renewal line. However, an account is needed to go further, so everything on this page stops before payment.
  • All amounts are net, because GoDaddy displays prices excluding VAT and at checkout writes "The subtotal does not include applicable taxes and fees." Our €390 per year and €780 for two years are also net: the two columns are on the same basis.
  • The calculation is always over twenty-four months, never just the first year. On the first year they would win the comparison ten times over, and it wouldn't be a comparison anyway.
  • Where data is not published, we write it down. On this page there are two cases: the renewal price for mailboxes and the renewal price for the Website Builder Commerce plan. An undeclared estimate is the easiest way to make a comparison page false.
  • Price lists change and promotions expire: the date above is part of the information. If you find different figures today, let us know and we will update them.
  • We are a competing supplier and we state this on the page. Because of this, the comparison is built so that you don't have to trust us: every figure can be verified on their pages and in their cart.
If you don't have the evenings to do it

We will send you your already-made website, then you decide.

We'll build your business website using your actual content, the stuff you've already published, and send you the link. It costs nothing, no credit card is required, and if you're not convinced, that's it: you buy GoDaddy and you've spent one hundred and ninety-four euros instead of seven hundred and eighty, with our blessing. But you get to compare two things that actually exist, not a price list and an idea.
